Abstract

Health is a multifactorial determinant. A flourishing community is built on the foundation of healthy individuals, and the modern world presents both opportunities and difficulties. Resilience is essential for overcoming these circumstances since it acts as a protective barrier against detrimental emotional impacts. Resilience is essential in reducing the impact of stress on personal well-being. Being resilient helps people and communities endure hardship, adjust to change, and prosper in spite of obstacles. Resilience has been shown to control emotions and safeguard mental health, especially when faced with hardship. Being resilient is a trait that everyone is born with, but when used properly, it can help people avoid stress, worry, and despair. Resilience is a dynamic
mechanism that interacts with different life situations. When someone has a significant trauma and recovers from it with more strength than before, it shows that they have adapted. Resilience is a skill that may be acquired at any age and is shaped by everyday experiences. Resilience as a process makes sense since it implies that life’s odds can change for the better. There is a complex relationship between resilience, well-being,
and health; resilience serves as a key mediator in various situations, and resilience and well-being are positively correlated. Overall, resilience is shown to be an essential element in fostering health and well-being across a range of age groups and life situations, which supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
